High PEEP in acute respiratory distress syndrome: quantitative evaluation between improved arterial oxygenation and decreased oxygen delivery (2016)
Journal Article
Chikhani, M., Das, A., Haque, M., Wang, W., Bates, D., & Hardman, J. (2016). High PEEP in acute respiratory distress syndrome: quantitative evaluation between improved arterial oxygenation and decreased oxygen delivery. British Journal of Anaesthesia, 117(5), 650-658. https://doi.org/10.1093/bja/aew314

Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is widely used to improve oxygenation and prevent alveolar collapse in mechanically ventilated patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). While PEEP predictably improves arterial...
